"The only thing that has been keeping me in this music industry is the passion i have for it.

Bro things are now seriously expensive, do you know how many millions you need now to shoot an ordinary video.
For you to record a song and to pay for promotion in different areas, shooting the video, and placing it on to the world to see you need to budget a $100K US Dollars for 1 song and you're not certain it will BLOW UP after spending this.

It's cr∆zy unlike before when you spend little in arranging your song and BooM e don blow everybody don dey jam to am your account balance go dey Increase.

— Afrobeats sensational legend Timaya reveals in a recent podcast when he was asked how did he cope with pushing his music before when he started and now that the entire system has changed totally.

Just imagine spending $100k dollars ( 200 million when converted to niara ) on a song and e no blow heartbreak no even pain reach this one .
You go just dey watch your money dey fly come down like Aviator .

As a man, you return from work and see your mom and your wife like this,what will you do as a man

POLITICS AND INTERESTS

Have you seen the video of Atiku having breakfast in Aregbesola's house?

While he was in his living room, the drummers were beating "2027, Tinubu o lule ni". Wow! Inside Aregbesola's house!!!

If anyone had earlier told me that a day would come when the sitting room of Aregbesola will be boardroom for plans against Tinubu, I will say no, it's impossible.

In the same vein, if anyone had earlier told me that Wike would be Tinubu's man Friday (right-hand man), I will say it can never be possible.

My people, here we are today. Everything is happening. It's been long that I came to realise that politics is not worth being obsessed about.

Where interests align, archenemies become bosom friends and staunch allies. That's politics for you. Let's just be careful.

Playing chess with the inmates at Rikers Island was a life changing experience for me. - Tunde Onakoya
Good morning,
I am the jail program coordinator for the Lenawee County jail in Michigan. I was speaking with a person in the facility regarding your program and the wonderful things that you do to help others. He stressed how he enjoyed playing chess and how this has changed his mind set on life chooses. He asked me to watch the videos regarding your program, and I must say they are very inspiring. I'm hoping you can send me some information regarding your program and how we may incorporate this into the facility. @Tonyballard77

I stopped buying tiger-nut anyhow the day I noticed the sellers no longer go with transparent water bottles to sprinkle water on it.

One day, I wanted to buy tiger-nut. I stopped an aboki, and while we were discussing and negotiating, I tried testing him, I picked up his water bottle to drink, claiming I was thirsty. He quickly stopped me.

I asked him why, and he said, “Kai, nooo! That water no be for drinking oo,” and grabbed the bottle from me.

I asked, “But you dey use it di water your market, abi [But aren'tuou using it to keep your tigernut fresh]? Is it good for you?”

He smiled and said, “This water is different. Even me no fit drink am meaning, [Even I myself can't drink it]”

I was shocked. “Are you serious?”

He replied, “Walahi! Na special water meaning [Like seriously, it's a special water]”

I was so confused. The bottle wasn’t transparent, so I couldn’t see what was inside, but it was either dirty water or something else entirely. Then I lost my appetite to buy and not to make him feel bad, I told him I am having a ten thousand note... Thankfully, he said he won't have change for it, and I left.

Now, there’s a trending video of an aboki caught using his urine instead of water to sprinkle on tiger nuts. Imagine that!

This is why you must always wash your tigernut very well before eating.

Be careful of what you put in your stomach. Food poisoning is real, and once it damages your stomach, fixing it won’t be easy.

If you must eat it, please wash it thoroughly. Don’t just buy pure water, and pour, shake it, and start eating.

Please wash with clean water and salt before eating. Be careful not to just buy anything on the road and start eating, take your time to wash it thoroughly. Some of these fruits you see on the road are stored using chemicals to preserve them.

Stay safe!

"When my sxxtape went viral on social media and many people were talking about it, I thought my colleagues, who are also celebrities, would support me, but none of them made a post to support me in that difficult situation.

Since then, I hardly support people because when I needed support, none of the people I had already supported stood by me. But thank God, the video was deleted from all social media platforms and all devices.

To be honest, people only support you when they know it benefits them. Choose your circle of friends wisely."- Tiwa Savage

‘I no be thief’ — Nigerian singer reacts to Peter Okoye’s arrest in Ghana

Famous Nigerian music star, Peter Okoye, has reacted to the arrest of his namesake in Ghana.
A viral video on social media, captured Ghanaian police arresting a suspect identified as Peter Okoye.
The 31 year old suspect was arrested for fraud and kidnapping.

Some netizens mistook the singer for the arrested suspect.
However, reacting to the development, the singer reposted the viral video on X, to clarify the public.

While urging the police in Ghana to clarify the suspect’s identity, the singer wrote in pidgin “Abeg make una dey specifically dey specify which ‘PETER OKOYE’. I no be thief”.

This video teared me up and reminded me of the need to Praise GOD at all times
